A few Sundays ago, Sam and I strolled to DeJohn’s on Lark , a sister restaurant to Justin’s [one of our favorite summer patios] to listen to a two-man drumming band, rightly dubbed Random Rhythm. The drummers, Kenny [Sam's friend and co-worker] and Steve, each have their own percussion instrument, and they randomly beat their drums, all while chugging down a cocktail.

Although the beats were impressive, I was more concerned with the infamous cocktails that Kenny hooked us up with. Strawberry rhubarb martini with fresh strawberries and muddled rhubarb with mint and lime. Seen here:
And we also sampled, a pear martini , right with a huge fresh pear slice and a cucumber and fresh basil martini , left with fresh mint, lime juice and muddled cucumber. Seen here:
I had two pear martinis.... you can't tell, can you tell?

The flavors of the cocktails sound well considered, although some of the garnish looks a little cumbersome. Cucumber is so refreshing. And muddled rhubarb certainly sounds interesting too.
It just kills me when bars call these drinks martinis. Maybe I need to let it go.
